Human / turtle hybrid and sinister enabler of corrupt plutocrats Sen. Mitch "Missy" McConnell (R- Obstruction) uses his inside voice in public about making election day a national holiday, which would drive up Dem turnout:
“The only common motivation running through the whole proposal seems to be this — Democrats searching for ways to give Washington politicians more control over what Americans say about them and how they get people elected...It’s an attempt to rewrite the rules...in order to benefit one over the other."Said Missy, before realizing he was talking into a live mic.....Imagine, legitimate voters having a day off from work to exercise their Constitutional right to vote: can't have that!
The Rethuglican strategy for decades has been to suppress the Dem vote in order to ensure their electoral victories. Making it easier -- and legal -- for voters to register and vote means disaster for Rethugs, who count on a highly motivated core of wingnuts to turn out and vote for them, while suppressing Dem voting. This is an issue that the Dems need to win.
BONUS:
This is a naked admission. @senatemajldr and the Republicans don't want to make it easier for Americans to vote. Why? Because they believe that will help Democrats. What does this say about the GOP and its strategy for hanging on to power? https://t.co/GODaBv9bVt— David Corn (@DavidCornDC) January 30, 2019
Because if everyone voted, the GOP would never control congress or the White House again.— Bang Crasby (@BangCrasby) January 30, 2019
